No, it actually isn't a common mistake at all...AU has one potentially great back. Most people that know what they're talking about don't rank AU's RB corp very highly. It is composed of other team's scraps, a coach's son (was a pity offer), a nobody, and Roc. This is not the composition of a top RB group.


This is just silly. CAP has more talent than Mason, imo. I don't know why they stopped sharing carries last year, CAP isn't to be taken lightly. On top of that Grant is great in his role and could easily average something close to 10 YPC in that offense, supposing he doesn't get high carry numbers of course.

Coach's son pity offer that was a composite 3-star coming out of JUCO. Even if you do think he is actually a solid back (which I very much disagree with), you can't really think he is better than Mason. That is ridiculous.

This is kind of my point. Grant is not a good back. In this offense, though, he could put up good numbers and so AU could still be the top rushing team statistically, even though the RB corp is 5th at best.

Also, you're probably reaching more than a little with 10 ypc unless he only has around 60 plays all year again this year. I'm guessing he'll be playing a bit more without Mason around to carry the load. Depending on Roc, of course.
